    Acoustic panel for flat TV

    Not so sure about the "sleek modern design; looks great" part. I want to hang my tools on it. A set of heavy drapes with vallance would do the job and add some theatrical flair should you go with electric retraction.

    Hello

    Switching to just about any tube amp will be a game changer. Took me half a lifetime to get a nice tube guitar amp. Great your son won't have to wait.

    Audiophiles without a dedicated listening room — what drives you nuts?

    Can't imagine what college would accept such a thesis subject. Perhaps Full Sail University in Orlando? Be interested to know.

    New Beast in The Big Rig™️

    Loved the "capped caps" with terminals at the top. We'd all be re-capping more often if everything employed that feature.

    That is why I reported them. At the very least, it's a bad business model for any company.

    The Secondary Market

    Bought a new Victory motorcycle from dealer A but brought it to dealer B for warranty service. Dealer B claimed they "don't do warranty service on bikes not purchased directly from them". Never did any business with them again (and reported them). Same can apply to audio equipment; questionable...

    Do genetics and expectations affect our audio preferences?

    I've always been able to hear faint sounds in the distance that others around me could not. Coincidently? I also have a heightened sense of smell, superior distance vision plus artistic and musical abilities. As to genetics; neither parents nor siblings share those traits though but had higher...

    Do EV chargers introduce noise?

    Running your toaster probably creates more noise than your neighbors chargers.

    Are audiophile cables a scam? Copper VS banana VS ???

    I believe so though admittedly, I don't know good from bad when it comes to fancy French cuisine.

    Dedicated purpose built listening spaces

    Converted the master bedroom of my new home. Performed all the work myself including fabricating the acoustical panels. The bonus was having the walk in closet available for my rack room.
